MILWAUKEE (AP)  The Milwaukee Bucks acquired Maurice "Mo" Williams after the Utah Jazz did not match the offer sheet the guard signed on Aug. 6.

Milwaukee general manager Larry Harris said the team will bring Williams to Milwaukee on Monday to finalize his contract.

Williams, 21, spent the 2003-04 season with the Jazz, where he appeared in 57 games and averaged 5.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Jazz vice president for basketball operations Kevin O'Connor said Saturday Utah wanted to keep Williams, but didn't have room for him.

"Mo Williams is a talented young player and we wish him all the best with his new team," O'Connor said in a statement.

Williams left Alabama after his sophomore season and the Jazz took him in the second round of the 2003 draft with the 47th overall pick. He played behind Carlos Arroyo and Raul Lopez, who took over at point guard after John Stockton retired.

Arroyo signed a four-year, $16 million deal with the Jazz last month and Lopez is still under contract. Utah also added free agents Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur in July for deals worth a combined $108 million. With first-round draft picks Kris Humphries and Kirk Snyder joining the team, Utah's roster was full without Williams.
